At what point did you / will you take the coronavirus epidemic seriously?

The end says this (my quick and dirty translation):

"Tienen que cerrar Madrid de una vez y tiene que dotar Madrid de material porque si no, no se va a poder frenar y no se va a poder contener la propagación de este bicho hijo de puta. Aquí va a morir hasta el Tato; va a morir hasta el apuntador. Entonces, por favor, compartir, difundir, pero que esto se sepa."

"They need to close/shut down Madrid right now and give Madrid all the supplies it needs, because if not, you will not be able to slow down or contain the propagation of this son-of-a-whore bug. Here in Madrid everyone will die, even El Tato [a famous XIX Century bullfighter, whose nickname became a synonym for 'everyone up to and including']; everyone will die, including the prompter [said when everyone in a play dies, even the offstage hands who aren't in the script]. Then, please, share this, spread it around, just let it be known (to all)."

Just had a knock at the door. It was the son of a family that used to be in our ward. He is a missionary and just got back from Chile two days ago and had only been out two weeks. He baked cookies with his companion (friend from our ward) and is out delivering them. Yeah, when I saw him I didn't let him inside. He used air quotes when saying he was in quarantine...

I assume the cookies have been placed in quarantine.

Yep. We should see pretty soon if there is something to it. Let’s hope we get competent clinicians studying it instead of our cheerleader president.

I wonder how long the virus can survive in the microwave.

More hope that Italy is turning the corner after today's numbers.

Good Twitter thread in the Democrats corona Bill. Like a Christmas list for lib pet projects. Congressional Democrats are blowing it as bad as Trump.

Will Our Economy Die From Coronavirus?

The researchers found that most coronavirus transmissions had occurred in regions with low temperatures, between 37.4 and 62.6 degrees Fahrenheit (or 3 and 17 degrees Celsius).

While countries with equatorial climates and those in the Southern Hemisphere, currently in the middle of summer, have reported coronavirus cases, regions with average temperatures above 64.4 degrees Fahrenheit (or 18 degrees Celsius) account for fewer than 6 percent of global cases so far.

“Wherever the temperatures were colder, the number of the cases started increasing quickly,” said Qasim Bukhari, a computational scientist at M.I.T. who is a co-author of the study. “You see this in Europe, even though the health care there is among the world’s best.”

Trump’s former FDA chief warns president against reopening public life

Trump can't just reopen public life.

Well the Summer Olympics is postponed up to a year, as expected. It's interesting to watch everything unfold. This whole thing is surreal.

What an ass. He's as much a sociopath as Trump.

Six days: Tracking Sen. Rand Paul from coronavirus testing to positive diagnosis

“For those who want to criticize me for lack of quarantine, realize that if the rules on testing had been followed to a T, I would never have been tested and would still be walking around the halls of the Capitol,” Paul said in a lengthy statement Monday. “The current guidelines would not have called for me to get tested nor quarantined.”

He added: “It was my extra precaution, out of concern for my damaged lung, that led me to get tested.”
